Question 1

ok to take vicodin n nyquil together?

Accepted Answer

Vicodin + NyQuil: Do not take both of these drugs together.  Nyquil has a significant amount of alcohol.  This combination would be the same as taking vicodin with an alcohol beverage.  This combination will have an additive depressive effect on your body systems and could very well have serious adverse consequences.

Question 2

hw much vicodin is safe to take?

Accepted Answer

The amount that: your doctor prescribes. The FDA now has ordered that medication combinations containing acetaminophen not have more than 325 mg per tablet.  Generally, one to two tablets three to four times a day is safe for a limited time. Using for longer periods of time or in higher doses can be dangerous and lead to physical dependency, addiction and other problems, including liver problems from the tylenol.

Question 3

what amount vicodin should i take?

Accepted Answer

What does it say: on your prescription? And, if you DON'T have a prescription, then the proper amount would be none. The therapeutic dose of hydrocodone is between 5 and 15 mg, usually combined with 325 mg of Acetaminophen (tylenol) in each tablet. A typical tablet contains 7.5 mg of hydrocodone, and 1-2 is the usual dose, depending on severity of pain and the level of tolerance of the individual.

Question 4

how does it take for vicodin to kick in?

Accepted Answer

30 minutes: You should start to feel the effects of the medication within a half and hour, .

Question 5

can u take vicodin and meloxican together?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: If you can take either medication individually, you are safe to take these medications concommitantly, within their respective prescribed directions.  Hope that helps.  Cheers.

Question 6

is it bad if i take two vicodin every night?

Accepted Answer

Vicodin: Is it prescribed?, for how long?, what for?. Please clarify with the prescribing doc. First.

Question 7

what can i expect it to be like to take vicodin?

Accepted Answer

Take how much and: For what purpose? If it is prescribed for pain, and you take it as prescribed, all you should feel is a reduction in pain. Some people get nausea and even vomiting with opiates, many get constipation, but generally normal doses for self-limited pain (ankle strain etc.) people don't experience anything outside of pain relief. If you take too much, you can experience resp. Depression and even death.

Question 8

i am having no effect from 35g of vicodin. should i take more?

Accepted Answer

If it were "grams": You would be long dead.  You are talking milligrams (mg) of hydrocodone.  Vicodin, however, is a combination of tylenol (acetaminophen) and hydrocodone, and if you increase the one, you are increasing the other.  You should take it only as your doctor recommends, and increasing the dose can expose you not only to an opioid overdose, but to tylenol toxicity, which can seriously damage your liver.

Question 9

how many vicodin can you take in one night without overdosing?

Accepted Answer

Acetaminophen: The real issue is the amount of Acetaminophen you take.  Textbooks claim a maximum daily dose of 4000 mg.  I have seen liver damage done with far less.  I would suggest you keep the Acetaminophen intake to no more than 2500 mg.  5 mg vicodin has 5oo mg of Acetaminophen pertablet, vicodin es has 750 mg and vicoden hp (10 mg) has 660 mg.

Question 10

what makes you test positive for vicodin if you didn't take it?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: If only a screening test was done, without confirmation, no one can say with certainty that is was hydrocodone. If confirmed, and there was no chain-of-custody there is always a small possibility that the specimens were mixed up, either at their source or in the lab.  It can also be a metabolite of another opiate that was consumed, for example, high doses of codeine.
